What do Macbeths conflicting emotions about the murder of Duncan suggest about his character?

∙ 7y ago
In the Shakespearean play, the attitude of King Duncan I (d. August 14, 1040) toward General Macbeth (c. 1014-August 15, 1057) may be described best as appreciative.
Specifically, in Act 1 Scene 2, Duncan saw that once again Macbeth succeeded in defending and preserving king and country on the battlefield. He realized that he always could count on Macbeth to do the best job possible. And so in Scenes 2-3, he decided to recognize and reward him with the powerful title and prosperous properties of the Thane of Cawdor. In Scene 4, he further honored Macbeth with public thanks in front of the assembled nobles and with the last-minute decision to spend the night in the Macbeths' home at Inverness Castle.

∙ 12y agoState of mind? Did he have one?
When Macbeth was about to kill Duncan he needed to do, not think. He's often that kind of guy. The opposite of Hamlet, his tragic flaw comes from never thinking things through enough, acting on impulse, making mistakes. He's just had the famous "dagger speech" at that point, and seeing things often implies insanity. However, the guy is pretty resolved by the end of it, fully aware that what he is doing is wrong and scary, but he's going to do the deed. At the moment before murder, chances are he's scared of what he's doing but is still committing the act because he's supposed to and going to. Doubts would make sense, but he doesn't seem to have them; he doesn't think of the possibility of backing out, only knows he's turning into a bad guy and feels terrible about killing such an innocent guy, creating the pictures that will haunt his mind forevermore.

∙ 7y agoIf you mean his behaviour in killing the grooms, he says he was so mad at seeing them there covered in blood, apparently the murderers of Duncan, that he lost it and killed them. If it is some other behaviour you are talking about then I would have to know what it is.

Why does Shakespeare use caesuras in Romeo and Juliet?
Because in Romeo and Juliet at heightened points of emotion the meter is interrupted and the sentences tend to be long. But as the sentence is interrupted it suggests to the audience that something shocking has been said or that Juliet is overwhelmed with emotions. Caesura helps suggest Juliet's emotions to the audience, it is a creative technique.
